8 hours might need 2 per day

You'll get more working sand

Robert Llewellyn claims that the electric Fendt can pull "tons", so why is it on grassland tyres? Surely there is no way that a tractor that size can get enough traction for field work unless it is on agricultural tyres?

It says in the video it was built for construction sites in towns.

In the Netherlands where all ICE will be banned soon

If and I suspect it’s a big if at the moment and something like this works and comes to the market I can see uses. My feeder tractor does 3 hours a day every day, that is 90% of its work. So 1000 hours a year. It only leaves the farm to do a bit of trailers or odd jobs and would never do a 8 hour day.

If electric was economic it would be a consideration. Can’t see why a small electric tractor couldn’t do the scraping up.

Can't see why electric wouldn't be economic, since efficiency is on a whole another level compared to petrol or/and diesel. Electricity costs around 11cents/1kWh compared to diesel/red diesel at 1,5€/l atm. Only problem is the size of the batteries, but i reckon that it'll be solved in near future.

Agreed that's the sort of things that would suit electric perfectly. Could likely hook them up to a solar charger when not working to reduce the cost more. Although sunlight in the winter could be an issue.

Drove an electric car for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was good, will be a serious consideration when I next change something

On Youtube Harrys Garage he drove a BMW electric jeep, had over 300 miles range downside £115 ,000 price tag and 54 hours to fully charge from a standard socket. Getting closer but not there yet.

The only problem about the video is that they did not say how long it would take to recharge the batteries. Being that big I would expect it to take quite some time.

Doesn't every farm have a 11kW outlet? It makes charging ev's pretty fast. Even my city home has one.

For some reason they don't really have commonly available three phase in the UK. f**k if I know why...

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

All the knobs that drive around all day with there lights on and beacons going might not get a full 8hrs

I like it . Think of the hundreds of a acres of council owned grass areas in towns and cities. These are all getting more and more strict on letting conventional engined vehicles in. This electric tractor would be ideal.

Battery job is dead easy to sort.

just make it so battery pack is carried on a removable frame (let’s call it a front linkage for ease of understanding). When it’s getting down just drop it off at the recharge point, hook another on and away
